JOURNAL OF THE SENATE

__________

FIRST CALENDAR DAY FIRST SESSION DAY

Senate Chamber

Des Moines, Iowa, Monday, January 10, 2000 Pursuant to chapter two (2), sections two point one (2.1) and two point three (2.3), Code of Iowa, the 2000 Regular Session of the Seventy-Eighth General Assembly convened at 10:02 a.m., and the Senate was called to order by President Mary E. Kramer. Prayer was offered by the Reverend Dr. Sam Massey, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, Des Moines, Iowa, guest of President Kramer.

OPENING REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE

President Kramer addressed the Senate with the following remarks: Welcome back to this beautiful chamber. It is historic and inspiring and brings us back each year with a fresh sense of what we might accomplish together. Much has been said and written about the issues facing our state in the year 2000 and beyond. Our aging population; the loss of talented and productive young people; our declining school enrollment and performance; a difficult agricultural economy engrossed in massive change; a certain “separatism” among rural and urban areas of our state AND a certain apologist attitude — talk about who and what we are not. It's time to stop continually defining these issues and problems and look at what we can do and can become. David Gergen, writing in the current issue of US News & World Report, says: “At no time in memory have Americans felt more optimistic about the future and with greater reason. As the new century begins, we look back on one of the brightest decades in memory and forward to a future perhaps even more luminous.” He continues: “Three revolutions are sweeping the world and America leads the way in each . . . the Cold War has faded and democracy is surging — from 69 democratic countries to 120 democratic countries in one decade. This expansion of human freedom is accompanied by a revolution in capitalism that can create a booming

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE 1st Day 2

economy here at home and is encouraging entrepreneurs in every nation. Even more revolutionary are the breakthroughs in science and technology — our grandchildren may live in a time when cancer is cured, when multiple universes are discovered, and a decent life is within reach of even the poorest of God’s creatures. A recent survey by the Pew Research Center found that fully 70% of Americans are optimistic about America's future and 81% are optimistic about themselves and their families. We may be on the verge of a truly Golden Age.” And how will we here, in this historic place, lead Iowa to her proper role in this coming Golden Age? As we approached the last millennium, headlines proclaimed, “The United States is the Envy of the World.” The arrogance of this thinking, perhaps, prevented us from making the most of our potential during the last century. Historian John Keegan has said, “The history of the 20th century can be written through the biographies of six men: Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Churchill, and Franklin Roosevelt. The first four of these men were tyrants who dimmed the lamps of freedom and plunged the world into the bloodiest conflicts in all of human history.” Indeed — leadership counts! So, the question is: How can we do a better job realizing the promise of the 21st century than we did the 20th? We must nurture and elect more leaders of great stature. Today, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and athletes often command more respect than politicians. In the years ahead, men and women in public life provide inspiration, vision, and belief in a common purpose. Isn't that our hope? No — it's our job! How will we in this chamber, individually and collectively, provide that inspiration, vision, and common purpose? Again quoting David Gergen, “Our most important protections in this new world will be our old values. Nothing we will learn on the Internet will give us deeper insights than the answers found in the desert 2000 years ago. As Americans,” (I would say, especially, as Iowans), “we owe an extraordinary debt to those generations who have brought us to the edge of this new promised land. Their sacrifices not only brought us a good life, but through wars and hard times, kept our values alive. These values are now the greatest gift we can pass on to the 21st century.” Martin Luther King defined freedom in this way: “Freedom is the capacity to deliberate on alternatives, the ability to think, to make rational decisions about one's life, and then have the capacity to accept responsibility for those decisions.” Here and now, each of us has been elected a leader for our own constituency and for our state as a whole. John Zenger has said, “There is no mythology or charisma that is necessary for leadership. We know what leaders do: They create shared values through communication. They develop responsible followers. They inspire lofty goal accomplishment. They model appropriate behavior. They focus attention on the important issues. They connect their group to the outside world.” No rocket science here — discipline and practice will get us where we want to be.

1st Day MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 2000 3

In Iowa, we are blessed with the freedom, the values, and the people to shape our future. Traditional thinking says this will be a tough, political year. It is an election year, and the bitterness and cynicism of old battles, along with our desire to win, will interfere with creating good public policy — a bright future — for Iowa. We will disagree. We have strong philosophical opinions about the role and the size of our government. However, we must move a positive agenda. We can't afford to wait until the “right” year, or the “right” time. The time is now, today. I am eager to begin and hope you are too. Thank you for your attention.

REMARKS BY THE MAJORITY LEADER Senator Iverson addressed the Senate as follows: I want to take this opportunity to welcome all of you back for the 2000 Regular Session of the 78th General Assembly. I look forward to working with each and every one of you during the next few months. Each legislative session brings with it numerous challenges, and this session will be no different. Our budget is not as healthy as it has been during the past several years, and we will need to act responsibly to address this issue. However, I strongly believe that the opportunities far outnumber the challenges. I believe we have an excellent opportunity to make Iowa schools the best in the country by improving reading programs and making schools more accountable to parents. We can make Iowa’s economy more competitive by opening up our utility system to competition through a process that ensures strong protections for Iowa consumers, and we can promote the development of Iowa’s work force by preparing young Iowans for tomorrow’s high-tech workplace. We also have an excellent opportunity to build on the substantial investments we have made in additional recreational activities for Iowa families. I’ve joked this summer a couple of times that my idea of a good time is a cowboy movie and a cheap cigar — I’m sure I’m not the only person who feels that way. But that hasn’t stopped this legislature from making an impressive commitment to improving the quality of life for Iowans. But there is more that we can do to make Iowa a better place to work, live, and raise a family. We must also continue to promote value-added agriculture to help Iowa farmers succeed in our global economy. These goals that I have outlined aren’t just my goals. They aren’t just the goals of everyone in this room. They are the goals of the Iowans we represent. We’ve had a history of working together to solve Iowa’s problems. Last year, this chamber was nearly unanimous in voting to expand the size of Iowa’s skilled work force by passing the ACE legislation. We also voted overwhelmingly to reduce taxes on hardworking Iowa families. Not all of the ideas became law, but that doesn’t mean we don’t start this session with any less commitment to develop creative solutions to the problems


facing Iowans. I look forward to working on these issues with each and every one of you. I also want to take this opportunity to thank all of the administrative staff and the staff of the central staff agencies for all the hard work they have provided in the past, their efforts in the upcoming session, and also welcome all the new staff to the Iowa Senate. I also want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for the kindness you have extended to me over the past year.

REMARKS BY THE MINORITY LEADER Senator Gronstal addressed the Senate as follows: Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate: First of all, I’d like to welcome everyone back to this first session of the 2000s. We have an incredible opportunity this year to pursue an agenda that will ensure the future of our families and our state. There are dozens of issues that confront us this year, but today I’m going to talk about just three: The first priority this session is to help schools be accountable to parents and their communities. Schools will report when kids are not at grade level in reading, writing, and math and will then provide the extra instruction that child needs to succeed. Our Accountable Schools Initiative will help parents and schools focus on the basics and provide five million dollars to pay for the extra help, so all students succeed. Republican senators rejected similar proposals in 1998 and in 1999, but this year we are happy that Republican leaders in the House and Senate have started talking about these common sense proposals. Back to the Basics and accountability in our schools will be one of the centerpiece accomplishments of this session. Our families shouldn’t have to wait to find out when their children are falling behind and our schools should not have to wait for the resources they need to make sure every child succeeds. The second Democratic priority of this session is to transform Iowa’s health care system by directing the tobacco settlement to health care. By taking the money we have reclaimed from tobacco companies for treating people and using a significant portion for prevention, we can become national leaders in preventive health care. We spend billions of dollars in this state treating disease. The tobacco settlement gives us an historic opportunity to begin investing in wellness. Let’s not squander this opportunity by coming up with a series of pork barrel projects that won’t improve the long-term health of our families. The third priority for this session must be a commitment to clean water. How can we expect our families to stay here and new families to move here and enjoy Iowa's natural beauty when 159 streams and rivers are polluted. For a modest state investment we can create a 75 million dollar clean-water initiative that will put thousands of acres of environmentally sensitive land in filter strips along those polluted streams and rivers. Iowa’s families shouldn’t have to wait for our waters to be safe. There are a host of other issues to deal with this year. Issues like work force development, crumbling schools, community attractions, utility restructuring, and the


farm economy to name just a few, and we will work on those issues with you, as well. But we believe that unless we assure Iowans that we have made dramatic progress in the three priority areas of education, health care, and clean water, this session will have been a failure. The Democrats will fight for our families’ future. Thank you, Madam President.
